How Far Would You Go Just To Nurture Your Obsession? “That was originally what I had loved him for: that at a period when our native land was nude and crude and provincial, when the famous 'atmosphere' it is supposed to lack was not even missed, when literature was lonely there and art and form almost impossible, he had found the means to live and write like one of the first; to be free and general and not at all afraid; to feel, understand, and express everything.” - Henry James, The Aspern Papers An anonymous narrator arrives in Venice to retrieve Jeffrey Aspern’s - an American poet and his idol - love letters. There he finds Juliana Bordereau and his aging niece who may or may not have the letters in question.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Cozy Lion: As Told by Queen Crosspatch I shall never forget the scold ing I gave him-to begin with. One of the advantages of being a Fairy - even quite a common one - is that Lions can't bite you. A Fairy is too little and too light. If they snap at you it 's easy to fly through their mouths, and even if they catch you, if you just get behind their teeth you can make them so uncomfortable that they will beg you to get out and leave them in peace. Of course it was all the Lion's fault that I scolded him. Lions ought to live far away from people. Nobody likes Lions roaming about - particularly where there are children. But this Lion said he wanted to get into Society, and that he was very fond of children - little fat ones between three and four. So instead of living on a desert, or in a deep forest or a jungle he took the large Cave on the Huge Green Hill, only a few miles from a vil lage full of the fattest, rosiest little children you ever saw.
